GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 5060 ARI matches ELITE’s 2722 MHz clock

GIGABYTE is expanding its AORUS ARI series to graphics cards with the AORUS GeForce RTX 5060 ARI 8G . The new model uses a white cooler with yellow and orange accents, while ARI character artwork covers most of the backplate. GIGABYTE lists the card under model number GV-N5060AORUS ARI-8GD .

The card appears to be based directly on the existing AORUS GeForce RTX 5060 ELITE 8G . The cooler layout is almost identical, including three fans and the same general shroud design, but the ARI edition replaces the black finish with white panels and custom artwork. More importantly, the GPU clock is also 2722 MHz , matching the AORUS ELITE, while NVIDIA’s reference specification is 2497 MHz.

The core configuration remains unchanged from the standard RTX 5060, with 3,840 CUDA cores and 8GB of 28 Gbps GDDR7 attached to a 128-bit interface. NVIDIA specifies a 2.50 GHz reference boost clock for the RTX 5060, so the 2722 MHz AORUS setting represents the same factory overclock already offered by the ELITE model.

This also appears to be an original GB206-250-based RTX 5060 , rather than one of the newer cards using the larger GB205 GPU. GIGABYTE does not identify the GPU die in the currently indexed product information, so this cannot be confirmed from the model listing alone. The original AORUS ELITE design predates the recently introduced GB205-based RTX 5060 cards, which require different PCB layouts.

ARI started as an anime-themed AORUS motherboard series. We previously covered the B850 AORUS ELITE-P ICE , which expanded the ARI design from the earlier micro-ATX board to a full-size ATX model. The RTX 5060 now brings the same character to the graphics card itself. GIGABYTE is also showing an AORUS ARI doll and ARI stickers as matching accessories.

Pricing and wider regional availability have not yet been announced.
